This 164 page document contains Mr. Kay's handwritten journal of their travels with photographs...

Some were responses to requests the Library made to authors for bookplates or presentations. Others were appeals for purchases or donations for organizations represented by these individuals. Kalamazoo Valley Museum acquired the collection when the Library and the Museum were part of the same institution (see The Kalamazoo Public...

Loose ledger pages, school not identified. Most pages are undated but the ones that are range from 1902-1906. Several students mentioned, who were traceable through the censuses and plat maps, lived in adjacent sections 25/26/27 Alamo Township, which suggests the possibility that these records are from Tamarack School in section 28, although it is not entirely clear that all the records in this unbound set are from the same school. These papers are the property of Alamo Township Museum,...
